SHAIVIPQO COMB.

T all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that Arron T. XVONG, a

citizen of the lUnited States of America, re`

siding at liapaa, in the Island of Kauai and y Territory of Hawaii7 has invented new and useful Improvements in Shampoo Combs, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient construction of comb 1o adapted for head massage and shampoo service and capable of use as an applicator for working a cleansing, remedial, or tonie preparation or medicament into the scalp and to the roots of the hair, particularly when 'the latter is of more or less heavy growth tending to interfere with the etiiciency of methods ordinarily employed in this connection and consisting largely in the use of the fingers of the masseur or of a brush not particularly designed and adapted for the purpose; xand with this object in view the invention consists in a construction and combination of parts of whicha pre ferred embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings; wherein:-

Figure l is a perspective view of a comb embodying` the invention.v

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken diametrically of the same and indicating the optional location of asponge or like remedy distrilnuing` agency in the holder.

The comb is of annular forni having a preferably imperforate band or holder l() preferably iiared as indicated at ll toward its upper edge and open at the upper side to give access tothe interior of thevcomb, and the annular series of teeth l2 depending from the band or holder and may loe either integral with or fixed to the band and of a suiiicient resilience to avoid scarifying or scratching the scalp while being of a suiiicient stiffness to provide for overcoming i the resistance offered by the hair and bringing the terminals of the teeth into contact with the scalp. y

The flare at the upper edge of the band or holder not only provides. a better grip in manipulating the device as a means of holding the sponge 13 or other absorbent distributing medium in position for pressure by the hand grasping the band to control the application of the tonic, medicament or remedial or cleansing agent to the scalp as the comb is manipulated to rub the scalp.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new and useful is:-

A shampoo comb of annular form having an open band carrying a depending annular series of teeth, the band being flared toward its upper edge to form an exterior grip and an interior seat for a moisture distributing medium.

In testimony whereof she aitlxes her signature.
